vsmon errors..

I've been using Zonealarm Pro for nearly a year now, latest version btw, and i recently started getting the typical windows &quot;Close or debug&quot; message for vsmon.exe. Once i 'close' it, i have no internet access until i restart my computer. I have uninstalled zonealarm and installed the free version, yet i still have the same problem.. It usually takes the message 10-20 hours to pop up, but once i leave my computer online overnight, i usually wake up and find the vsmon error there.. also, once i do press Close, and i head on over to the task manager (win xp), vsmon.exe is still listed there.. weird eh? please help. The error is in both zonealarm free and pro.
